National Youth Choirs of Great Britain
Sunday 30 April 2006 18:30-20:00 (Radio 3)
Last Easter Saturday, Manchester's Bridgewater Hall resounded to the strains of the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain.
Music ranged from Schutz to Chilcott, and also included the winning entry from NYC's recent Young Composer Competition, plus new commissions from Tarik O'Regan and Richard Allain. With ages ranging from 13 to 22, the National Youth Choir and National Youth Training Choir play a key role in developing Britain's young singers, and Aled Jones talks to Deborah Catterall, conductor of the National Youth Training Choir, about the work that the choir does, and its role in sustaining choral music in Britain.
Also today, a round-up of some of Aled's favourite recent choral releases on CD.
